Publication number: 20250235345Abstract: A treatment system for cooling subcutaneous lipid-rich cells in a human subject includes an applicator and a control unit. The treatment system has a cooling mode for cooling tissue and a heating mode for warming tissue. The control unit includes a circulation circuit in fluid communication with the applicator, a chiller apparatus configured to chill fluid from the applicator circulation circuit, and a heater apparatus to warmed fluid from the applicator circulation circuit. The control unit mixes the chilled fluid and/or the warmed with fluid in the applicator circulation circuit control the temperature of the fluid circulated in the applicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2024Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Bryan J. Weber, Joseph Coakley, Mark William Baker, Thomas Burnell Reeve, III

Publication number: 20250134573Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for treating a subject are described herein. In some embodiments, an applicator for selectively affecting a subject's subcutaneous tissue is provided. The applicator can include: a housing; a treatment cup mounted in the housing, wherein the treatment cup defines a tissue-receiving cavity and includes a temperature-controlled surface; at least one thermal device coupled to the treatment cup and configured to receive energy via a flexible connector coupled to the applicator and to cool the temperature-controlled surface; an at least one vacuum port coupled to the treatment cup and configured to provide a vacuum to draw the subject's tissue into the tissue-receiving cavity and against at least a portion of a treatment area of the temperature-controlled surface to selectively damage and/or reduce the subject's subcutaneous tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2024Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Mark William Baker, Joseph Coakley, George Frangineas, JR., Russell Lee Gauthier, Roy Christopher Gomes, Clive Heke, Kurt Arthur Kordes, Mark Allen McCall, William P. Pennybacker, Austin Root, Ralph Edward Saunders, Teri L. Stivers, Peter Yee, Tamara Hilton

Publication number: 20250099294Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for removing heat from subcutaneously disposed lipid-rich cells are disclosed. In selected embodiments, suction and/or heat removal sources are coupled to an applicator. The applicator includes a flexible portion and a rigid portion. The rigid portion includes a thermally conductive plate and a frame coupling the thermally conductive plate and the flexible portion. An interior cavity of the applicator is in fluid communication with the suction source, and the frame maintains contiguous engagement between the heat removal source and the thermally conductive plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Mark William Baker, Joseph Coakley, Paul William Martens, Albert L. Ollerdessen, William Patrick Pennybacker, Jesse N. Rosen, Peter Yee, John W. Allison
